Two things are both true at once. The first is that anyone who used violence or threat of violence in an attempt to overturn the election results yesterday engaged in a form of domestic terrorism and should have the book thrown at them. 1/
The second is that BLM protesters this summer stormed government buildings, forcibly occupied them, burned and damaged them, assaulted police officers, and literally took command of entire areas of major American cities. 2/
The media immediately and correctly leapt to call the first group terrorists, insurrectionists, a mob, and rioters. They called the second group "mostly peaceful protesters." 3/
I should note that the people storming the capitol is obviously a bigger deal than obvious media hypocrisy, which is barely even news anymore.
